On the morning of Sunday 7, 2024, officers with the Banning Police Department responded to the 700 block of W. Gilman Street, in the City of Banning, after receiving a report that a dog had been stabbed.

 

According to the Department’s press release obtained by Voice For Us, the suspect who stabbed the dog fled the scene prior to the officer’s arrival.

 

Police identified the suspect as 34-years-old NATASHA AMBER SERRANO.

 

Witnesses told police that SERRANO stabbed the family dog and then fled the scene in her vehicle.

 

The dog was immediately taken to a local veterinary hospital for medical treatment.

I emailed the Banning Police Department to inquire about the Voiceless Victim and I was told that the dog is a female English Bulldog named Bubbles. I was further told that Bubbles is “recovering at a local Animal Hospital in the region and that Bubbles was being well cared for and was doing well.

 

Police then issued a BOLO (Be On The Lookout) on SERRANO for felony animal cruelty charges, to local law enforcement agencies.

 

Less than two hours later, Banning Police Dispatch was contacted by Ontario Police

Department, advising they had SERRANO detained. Banning Police responded and took custody of her.  

 

SERRANO was later booked into Larry Smith Correctional Facility for felony animal cruelty charges.

 

Police tell me this case is still under investigation and they are unable to provide very much information at this time.

 

The Department is asking anyone who may have additional information regarding this incident to call (951) - 922 - 3170. Thank you!

The Memphis Police Department arrested 47-years-old LUIS ALBERTO VALLELANES (pictured).

 

Police said it all started with a noise complaint by a neighbor of one Nutbush home.

Animal Control Officers with Memphis Animal Services responded to VALLELANES’ home in the 4000 block of Bayliss Avenue after a neighbor complained that there were multiple noisy roosters, chickens, and pigs.

 

ACO went to the property to confront VALLELANES.  He became defensive, and caused a disturbance, so Memphis Police were called in for assistance.

ACO said he took about three to four dogs inside the house from the backyard.

ACO reported seeing a dog, who was tied to an iron chain, with injuries that could be similar to injuries caused by dogfighting. According to ACO, the dog also had a swollen, fresh bite on the front of the neck, along with abrasions on both his ears, bloodshot eyes, and a slight limp.

 

Oficers also saw roosters, hens and chickens who were being kept in inadequate, cramped, and feces-coated cages. The cages had no bedding or protection from the elements.

ACO that the roosters had their combs and spurs cut, an indication of cockfighting.

 

On Monday, January 8, 2024, Memphis Police assisted MAS ACO with the removal of more than a hundred birds and five dogs.

 

In a Facebook post, MAS said: “Our final count was 107 birds from this case.”

The post goes on to say: “Memphis Animal Services has just taken in 85 birds from one location in what may be a long, drawn-out court case. We do not have the staff, space, or other resources to care for [these] many animals, and an intake this huge will impact the level of care received across all areas of the building.”

 

As explained in the post, what would help MAS cope with this new challenge is fosters and adopters for cats and dogs who were already at the shelter.

MAS advised that none of the birds are available at this time, and they don't know if or when they will be.

 

Please check with MAS if you are interested in adopting and/or fostering. Thank you!

 

VALLELANES is charged with one felony count of aggravated cruelty to animals. Online arrest records maintained by the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office show that VALLELANES’ hearing is scheduled for January 10, 2024, at 9:00 a.m.

Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar held a press conference on January 4, 2023, during which he gave details of a horrific animal cruelty case for which 24-years-old KAMRYN D’MIYA MCKEE (pictured), was arrested.

 

Sheriff Salazar said that the day before, a call came in reporting a foul odor emanating from an apartment in the 5000 block of Mansions Bluff heading towards Castroville.

 

Responding officers met with Bexar County Animal Control and with the assistance of maintenance staff, they were able to enter the apartment.

 

Inside the apartment, officials found a dog who was severely malnourished as well as the extremely decomposed remains of a Pitbull.

 

After making contact with MCKEE, she was questioned about the dogs and she had the nerve to say that she had last seen them on January 1, 2024, and they seemed fine.

According to Sheriff Salazar, MCKEE told investigators she had stopped by to give them food and water before she went to get her nails done.

 

Sheriff Salazar rightfully pointed out that the advanced stage of the decomposition of the deceased dog, and the level of malnourishment of the other dog, are an indication that MCKEE did not attend to the dogs on January 1, 2024, as she claimed!


The evil female was arrested for cruelty to a non-livestock animal, a third-degree felony.

She was booked into the Bexar County Jail and released after posting a $2,000 bond. Court records show a pre-hearing was scheduled for February 6, 2024.

 

I have emailed the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office and requested additional information about the Voiceless Victims. If I get a response, I will post an update. I took the liberty of naming the deceased furbaby Diamond for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.
